Southern California has emerged as the best place to do business in the United States. In two important components of economic success--disposable income and job creation--the region's growth has far exceeded national averages for the past two decades.  Yet, too often, Southern California businesses are forced to go elsewhere to secure the capital and support they need to grow and prosper. Glickman Capital is a Southern California solution.

We are a private equity investment firm whose principals understand the business dynamics of California and are committed to the long-term success of growing companies in the region. Glickman Capital  was created to formalize the founder's commitment to capitalize and partner with a wide range of growing businesses in Southern California.   We know that the region's strong entrepreneurial culture produces attractive investment opportunities.

David P. Glickman was born and raised in the Los Angeles area.  Prior to seeking opportunity in the private equity arena, he founded and successfully grew two companies in Los Angeles: Justice Technology Corp., which was Number 1 on Inc. Magazine's prestigious "Inc. 500" list in 1998 and for which Mr. Glickman was recognized as a finalist in Ernst & Young's search for Entrepreneur  of the Year; and TelePacific Communications, a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier that Mr. Glickman founded in 1998 and which successfully competes with Verizon and SBC's PacBell in Southern California to offer the business community a telecom alternative.

Mr. Glickman is committed to his community and to business growth and participation in it.  Mr. Glickman is on the Board of the Los Angeles Philharmonic; is the Vice Chairman of the Los Angeles landmark, the Hollywood Bowl;  and is on the Board of Dream Foundation and the Los Angeles Chapter of the Young Presidents Organization.  He understands Southern California - its strengths and areas of potential.
